    Squad is out,  first on is Daisy.

    Lots of noise then the whistle brings them to the line.

    Last in is Katy Hore.

    Duffy only helping, Colvin one on one kicking, and Fitzsimons rehabbing. Fitz has now joined the squad. Perhaps just a test.

    Finished the warm ups with a competitive relay.

    They want to win! 

    They split in half. One half play a two team frisbee game and the others kicking drills, then they swap.

    They are now playing a half field game, one team is the coaches and assistance in the bibs.

    Seems mainly about finding a connection with the forwards.

    Into two squads again. This time playing more back-line transition through the centre to a forwad. While the other one drills starting on the wing.

    Roffey and a few administrators also in attendance.

    They finished up with a chat and some social games, like paper/scissors/rock, in the centre of Gosch's Boisterous, happy and in it together. 

    Oops not quite finished,  they go into their lines (forward, back, mids) and do more drills. Perhaps not exact  with lines as they are a bit mixed.

    Shelley Heath was not with the main squad.

    Hoping she is fine. Was moving well when doing some one on one with Stinear.

    The impression I got from tonight's training was how supportive they are of each other, their competitive nature, with a strong will to win, even the little stuff.

    I liked how Libby Birch and Tayla Harris compete and then discuss skills with each other.

    Karen Paxman, with her warrior bandage works hard and trains with enthusiasm and ego.

    Daisy does so much talking and giving to others.

    Hanks, Purcell and Mithen run very hard, always backing up and finding their way to the next contest.

    Bannan does well below her kness and creates turnovers with pressure, always hunting the ball.

    Zanker works hard up and down the field, making space and causing her defender to struggle as she leads back into the goal kicking area. 

    Goldy and Mackin have a very professional approach, intention to get better.  

     After most had left the field, they drilled Fitzsimons roving from the ruck of Lauren at stoppage to snap goals.

     I also noticed Brown working one on one with a coach. She has a beautiful kick, and hands (taking a mark).

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
